Significant events
- “In February 2026, the Group completed a refinancing of its external debt obligations and revolving facilities, extended to at least September 2028, demonstrating a clear vote of confidence across all stakeholders in the performance and direction of the business. The refinancing achieved an increase in access to physical cash if required via an additional £2m RCF and maximised cash retention from future years profit generation by removing capital repayments on external debt, to support the business as it continues to invest in its strategic initiatives.”
